may_v be_v a_o separation_n make_v of_o soul_n and_o body_n yet_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o total_a separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o god_n friend_n may_v die_v must_v die_v they_o be_v but_o

the_o light_n will_v instant_o vanish_v and_o there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o very_a darkness_n and_o as_o in_o this_o microcosm_n of_o man_n the_o liver_n be_v the_o source_n of_o blood_n and_o

which_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v and_o which_o be_v very_o gross_a and_o horrible_a then_o also_o god_n may_v be_v as_o true_o and_o as_o orthodoxal_o say_v to_o sin_n when_o a_o christian_a man_n

which_o yet_o be_v so_o if_o we_o be_v personal_o unite_v to_o the_o godhead_n there_o be_v many_o mary_n mother_n but_o only_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o god_n i_o doubt_v not_o
